Some guy It took me a good four or five listens to really appreciate this one. Maybe the hooks aren't sharp, I don't know, but damn, do they go deep. Top class stuff I'll be listening to for a long time to come.

Frederick Squier Good strong Blues based Rock!! If you like Graveyard/Blue Oyster Cult/and early Fleetwood Mac(with Peter Green) you should love this one. I know I do!!!!!!!! Favorite track: Strong Wind.

FDJ (Desert Psychlist) A bit different from my usual listening material but the good songs and great playing sucked me in. Favorite track: Running Water.

1.	Second December (free) 06:22	lyrics	download
They died standing up, frozen with palms at their sides. A second December, no less bitter than the first. Further and further beneath, dreams decay, And days flew by like grains of sand, with no one to catch them in outstretched hand. One by one the walls came down ... never to be built again... Turned from the pain A body of empty regret Faced in the end With what you could not forget The shadows grew longer against the old stone walls, and the ox refused to pull the wagon forth. The wellspring which had turned the hills to green, dried up and bled them gray again. Time tugged harder against the revolving wheels, until they were silent and spun no more. A quiet descended from the heavens and covered the land, and buried our acts in the veils of the past. Turned from the pain A body of empty regret Faced in the end With what you could not forget Turned from the pain A body of empty regret Resigned in the end To what you would not forget
2.	Wishful Thinking 04:13	lyrics	buy track
damning praise of followers gone to your head trapped in self mythology your ego wants you dead when the walls come tumbling down to take you in their embrace your absence will go unnoticed another fool will take your place and if you let yourself believe the ends control the means you will find yourself down on your knees waving at the darkness can't see the forest for the trees another case of wishful thinking buried out at sea the deck chairs need rearranging the ice is on its way a glass of refreshing kool aid to wash away the taste called out holding nothing king of jokers once again don't blame the odds when you take the fall but the fool who ignored them and if you let yourself believe for one moment - the ends control the means you will quickly find yourself down on your knees waving blindly at the darkness can't see the forest for the trees another case of wishful thinking buried out at sea
3.	Nothing but a Stain 03:49	lyrics	buy track
Would you lay me down? And would you lay me down in vain? 'cause here lies before you your son's holy ghost he's dug you up wake before the morrow accept nothing but the pain see the sun forgives you leaves nothing but a stain to me it begs the question would you even want to have him back? the eternal's shadow this humanity I lack and as I hide behind my smoke screen of dismay the minutes crawl across the clock out in the hall each breath from me that reluctantly escapes is one more than what I granted you to take wake before the morrow accept nothing but the pain see the sun forgives you leaves nothing but a stain wake before the morrow accept nothing but the pain see the sun forgives you leaves nothing but a stain

5.	Still 05:02	lyrics	buy track
Left at peace I cannot function silenced without force applied held at gunpoint fear of failure potential of the edge decides concentrate to read the future call the hands on deck the ancient clarity and measure still enough to meet the task the wind cries, the storm dies, the sea retreats the presence of mind gathered to shut the buzz and thunder out discipline of youth remembered to deny the universe aloud the rebel yell will not unnerve you the human wave in all its force the tide will break, the break will stay a monument upon the shore the wind cries, the storm dies, the sea retreats my barriers, my barriers will not be breached
6.	Running Water 05:24	lyrics	buy track
There is nothing left to hold on to Because I’ve outlived all my fears All my worldly obligations have been fulfilled No more reasons to remain here I could live out my days in this familiar cage Content to know these thoughts are mine But after all these years I have no face left to save Just a random collection of lines I’m burning pages to fill the ink again These flames consume my days This delicate self-medication In only one direction conveys I could live out my days in this familiar cage Content to know these thoughts are mine But after all these years I have no face left to save Just a random collection of lines And when I break these chains that hold me down They can never be repaired I know reality is distorted through these lenses Will I see it any better once I’m there? Who needs running water, I’ve got space and time If those two hands pull me forward I’ll be fine All these years of contemplation Seem more distant than a foreign land I see these notes I wrote myself on these four walls In a language I don’t understand I could live out my days in this familiar cage Content to know these thoughts are mine But after all these years I have no face left to save Just a random collection of lines And when I break these chains that hold me down They can never be repaired I know reality is distorted through these lenses Will I see it any better once I’m there? Who needs running water, I’ve got space and time If those two hands pull me forward I’ll be fine

good morning, isolation my old friend, we're one again hidin' out in these foreign clothes dragged across the same old fields gone, gone drawn from you for far too long fifteenth dawn hello, desperation we've come face to face again good evening, endless night freezing cold, hours and hours lend me your ears and we'll reflect on the nature of this one sided deal gone, gone drawn from you for far too long fifteenth dawn the war is over the billboards shout it never ends the fuel never runs out if war is the answer who's asking the question? if war is the answer change the question let's change the question

Let us lie awhile and tell tall tales till dawn we'll wake before the generals and together see them off you burn the dispatches and I'll put the kettle on beware of the professionals poets whores revolutionaries they have no interest in curing anything these coffee grounds almost make life worth living out if it wasn't for that hissing on your radio he lacks the courtesy to off himself at home beware of the professionals poets whores revolutionaries they have no interest in curing anything that old snake oil salesman is back again the strings have wrung his puppets dead we dance down the same old ground to our graves...
9.	Sour Days 05:21	lyrics	buy track
Now that darkness rules the day I never get to see you to run my hands across your face I never get to feel you rain is coming, I know that now Its smell is all around me so won’t you wash me out. Wash me down clear my mind help me think and redefine what is real what is not in this maze of sour days I wish that I could find the back-door to my mind a safe haven in my head that will stop me from going blind a crack of light in this fuzzy gray to lift the blockings from my way. Lift them up set me free let me run aimlessly show me a way the real way out of this maze of sour days

11.	Brother 05:19	lyrics	buy track
Brother, I was weak when you were strong, you suffer of my own making. Would you accept my apologies in advance? I can't help myself to walk away I chain you to this earth I watch the shovel turn I see you lowered down under this hollowed ground I'm powerless to change your bitter fate cowardice and pain but I won't turn away I led you to this path you tread alone And I chose the eastern star, but it was a false dawn. The nightmare rained down hard, on those I had convinced I knew it all. I'm powerless to change your bitter fate cowardice and pain but I won't turn away I led you to this path you tread alone
12.	Strong Wind 08:35	lyrics	buy track
last night a snake shared her water must've got beneath her skin she showed me how to shoot this metal toy and where to hide the pin she said when the strong wind blows and the air gets cold from Zion gate down to Mexico we're gonna go...be buried here together might as well wake up happy last night I slept with a Bedouin princess now there's a mark on both our heads when her brother finds out he's gonna take his Kalashnikov and shoot us both down dead she said when the strong wind blows and the air gets cold from Zion gate down to Mexico we're gonna go...be buried here together might as well wake up happy so when I fix your truck by the side of the road girl, and your red hair glistens like the finest gold when the night is lit by other planet's skies like a prophet speaking with a thousand eyes when the birds let you in on your next few days and the lions are willing to die for your name when the strong wind blows and the air gets cold from Zion gate down to Mexico we're gonna go...be buried here together might as well wake up happy

Are Geezer the heaviest heavy blues band out there? Probably, but if you’re unsure, just listen to these four songs and decide for yourself. And while your eyelids get heavy from all that smoke, Borracho have the cowbell to lead you home. This is a stoner rock goldmine, folks, so bet in the van whilst you can.
